Patient's question:
Female baby, currently 2 years old. Recently, the child said her ears feel itchy and painful. Upon examination, there is a lot of yellow earwax, and she also has a low fever. Please ask: How can the earwax and pus-like otitis media in the child be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for the treatment of otitis media and can be selected as appropriate. Local drug treatment can be used, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops for medication. If the ear pain is severe, appropriate analgesics can be given. If accompanied by high fever, medication should be used based on the child's symptoms. In severe cases, please seek medical treatment at the hospital as soon as possible. If the patient exhibits severe symptoms, such as a tympanic membrane perforation, surgical treatment in the hospital is necessary. During the treatment period, it is essential to ensure the child stays warm to prevent further worsening of the symptoms due to cold.
